POEM: "I lift my eyes toward heaven"

From a translated poem sent to FFI by Miriam Rodriguez while she was detained at Adelanto ICE Processing Center. Her current whereabouts are unknown.

From here in my captivity

With my distressed spirit

I lift my eyes toward heaven

Longing for the most precious

My children and my grandchildren

Freedom the most sacred

United by love, we will overcome

Fear, anguish, and sadness

Replaced with faith, hope

In our Lord Jesus, capable of all

Forgive and restore

Pray to the One, capable of all

And who keeps us safe.
